Petrol Price Fluctuations

The UAE government has also decided to reduce subsidies on petrol, which is another factor contributing to the price increase. 

5 Tips for Fuel Efficiency

Here are the five most important tips that you can follow to improve your car's fuel efficiency.

1. Drive smoothly and avoid sudden acceleration and braking: This helps to reduce fuel consumption and emissions.
2. Keep your tires properly inflated: Underinflated tires have a higher rolling resistance, which can reduce fuel efficiency by up to 3%.
3. Use cruise control on the highway: This helps to maintain a constant speed, which can improve fuel efficiency.
4. Turn off your engine when you're stopped: This can save fuel, especially in city traffic.
5. Get regular tune-ups and oil changes:  A well-maintained vehicle will get better gas mileage.
